I'm afraid of Bay-Area-view-of-the-world-being-inaccurate sorta things, was kind of sad to see it in myself (though my scope was narrowed partially because my only experience was choosing between industry vs startup)

This is correct (am author), bad oversight. Opinions were only applicable towards the scope you described

Yah my feelings about running a startup are completely different for bootstrapped/hacked up companies (I think that's the term?)

ambition or "importance" don't always manifest in the early stages of a startup (they probably usually don't). Shopify started as a snowboard selling company and I'm sure that the founders here pitched YC a larger v

Former Shopify employee, but speaking based on public knowledge; 1. Liability. A result of "raising prices by $10 is 5% more revenue" is not confirmation that raising prices by $10 is a good idea. I expect a non-trivial error rate

How do you avoid customers changing their behaviours by observing pricing changes? Or when they share it with a friend and go "cute shirt for 10 dollars" and their friend is like "wat it's 15 dollars"

Is there an AI(specifically deep learning) element to optimally distribute the A/B testing ratios or to suggest products/prices that may be good to A/B test? (Referencing the .ai url)

yeah my bad, I separated out the stuff about how Julia works into another post and forgot to update the title

Thanks, I know of this stuff but I don't think I would've been qualified to form an explanation/overview of them. It would be nice to have these in a post though!

I don't think I'm familiar with this (I may have come across it but didn't identify it by name when I worked with Graal?), could you provide a link? :o Thanks!

A possible magic solution is to load a JIT state from a previous execution and have good manual-optimization features to be like PGO. This would give JITs best of both worlds with being able to get to a strong peak performance and also not

JITs vs static compilers on a language made for static compilers is probably a contest that JITs will never win. The keys to making JITs "better" than static compilation is (by my limited knowledge) creation of languages that are

Julia compiles at runtime which makes it a JIT but it does not actually use runtime information to compile (except to know what to compile and maybe some other things) or have a concept of "hotness" (this is in the post~)

On top of Ruby metaprogramming being unique, V8 and Hotspot are amazing premium deluxe engines that have had more time and/or resources.

I think language-to-language comparisons are often "unfair". Comparing Ruby and Crystal is probably not much better than comparing Ruby to C. Syntax is not an absolute signal for language similarity, and the most important parts o
